About this event

This resource is written with a thematic approach to mining, integrating learning across the curriculum. Students examine mining in the past, present and future. They are introduced to rocks and minerals and the rock cycle, as well as BC’s mining communities, how ore deposits are discovered and mined, how we use minerals and metals, mining careers, and mining and the environment.

***Registration priority will be given to teachers that have not taken this workshop in the past. Teachers in districts outside of the lower mainland will also be given priority. Please be aware that if you have taken this workshop before or are from the lower mainland and still choose to register, you will be moved onto the waitlist until registration closes.
